Tuesday Skin is a results-driven skin studio in Kerikeri, entered through the back doorway between Bay Chiropractic and BBQ BOI on Kerikeri Road. Founded by Zoë Wilde — the studio's resident cosmetic injector — it has made a name for itself across the Far North with a clear point of view: this is not a day spa. Instead of fluffy robes, clients get a clinic-style deep dive into their skin, specialising in injectables and corneotherapy, and leave feeling fresh, confident, clued-up and, in the studio's own words, obsessed with themselves.
The treatment menu covers the full spectrum of modern skin work. Cosmetic injectables include Tox using Xeomin®, dermal filler for lips, cheeks and definition, and Radiesse. On the technology side, the studio offers Broadband Light (BBL) and Moxi laser — billed as the gold standard in advanced light therapy, right here in Kerikeri — alongside skin needling with the EXCEED device, infrared LED light therapy and a facial menu built on Dermaviduals advanced actives. A body menu rounds things out with LZR hair reduction, and the shelves stock Skin Scripts and Dermaviduals skincare for home care.
The personality is part of the pull. The motto is 'What happens at Tuesday, stays at Tuesday', though the team knows results this good get shouted from the rooftops anyway. Bookings run online, gift vouchers are available, and regulars can join the Sub Club. The Kerikeri studio keeps weekday hours with a late night on Thursdays and sits within a small Northland family of studios that also includes Mangonui and Whangarei.
On Kerikeri Road, tucked behind Bay Chiropractic and in between BBQ BOI, Tuesday Skin occupies a spot you could easily walk past — which is fitting, because the studio is quietly one of the most talked-about skin destinations in Northland. Its calling card, displayed proudly on the homepage: 'The best you've ever had'.
The studio was founded by Zoë Wilde, its resident cosmetic injector, whose aim is to help clients preserve the integrity of their skin while 'injecting good vibes' along the way. Tuesday Skin is explicit about what it is not: it is not a spa. It positions itself like a clinic visit — a deep dive into your skin, specialising in injectables and corneotherapy — where the goal is for clients to leave feeling fresh, sassy and obsessed with themselves. Even the name has intent: Tuesday is your second chance from the Monday come down, the most productive day of the week, and a nod to a Rolling Stones classic and a Drake tune from the founder's first car. Edgy but relatable, memorable and conversation-starting.
Injectables are the heart of the Tuesday menu. For anti-wrinkle work the studio uses Xeomin®, which they call the best of the best: decreased muscle movement means pre-existing lines soften and new ones are discouraged from forming. Dermal filler takes up space under the skin to create lush lips, contoured cheeks and enhanced face shape — the studio's shorthand is 'you, but better'. Radiesse rounds out the injectables list.
But the studio is equally serious about skin therapy. Its BBL (Broadband Light) and Moxi laser platform is billed as the gold standard in advanced light therapy — the same technology used by celebrities and plastic surgeons around the world — available right in Kerikeri. Skin needling, aka Collagen Induction Therapy, uses the EXCEED device to stimulate collagen naturally and reduce the appearance of scarring and pigmentation. Infrared LED light therapy and a facial menu built on Dermaviduals advanced actives complete the therapy lineup, with LZR hair reduction on the body menu for anyone thinking beyond the face.
Expect a studio rather than a salon: clinical treatment chairs, framed certificates on the wall and a pink neon lightning bolt rather than fluffy robes. Booking happens online through the studio's booking system, where you can also manage appointments and buy gift vouchers. Regulars can sign up for the Sub Club, the studio's subscription, and the shop stocks Skin Scripts and Dermaviduals so home care keeps pace with in-clinic results.
The Kerikeri studio is open Monday to Wednesday from 10am to 3pm, with Thursdays running 10am to 7pm for anyone who needs a late appointment. It is part of a small Northland family — Tuesday Skin also has studios in Mangonui in Doubtless Bay and in Whangarei — but the Kerikeri branch has its own entry: find the back entrance between Bay Chiropractic and BBQ BOI at 6/88 Kerikeri Road.
First-timers are pointed to the 'Before Your Appointment' page before they arrive, and pricing is published on the website so there are no surprises. The motto — 'What happens at Tuesday, stays at Tuesday' — suggests a certain discretion, but the studio knows better: results this good, they say, get shouted from the rooftops.
